Of resources, bioenergy level importance EU. For reason, paper will make comprehensive evaluation EU's biofuel policy order driving forces behind regulation resource are, how they affect successful or not. In do this, firstly impacts current EU consumption be assessed, determine whether stated desired goals Findings show that fact formulation Europe's Renewable Strategy creates pressure meet binding targets for resultant rapid increase demand caused number negative social ecological arise.
